US EditionZohran Mamdani tells 1M social media followers to boycott Starbucks amid ongoing worker strike
Mayor-elect Mamdani backs the strike by roughly 1,000 unionized Starbucks baristas at 65 stores nationwide, urging a boycott to support demands for better wages and staffing.
- New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani urged followers to avoid Starbucks while baristas strike, writing, `Starbucks workers across the country are on an Unfair Labor Practices strike, fighting for a fair contract`.
- Amid stalled negotiations, Starbucks baristas began an open-ended strike on Thursday during Red Cup Day, citing six months of stalled proposals on pay, staffing, and unfair labor practice complaints.
- Roughly 1,000 workers across 65 stores began striking Thursday while Workers United represents over 12,000 baristas at 600 locations and unionized stores cover roughly 9,500 workers, about 4% of the labor force.
- Starbucks said its commitment to bargaining remains unchanged and is ready to resume talks if Workers United returns, while a spokesperson reported more than 99% of coffeehouses stayed open on Friday.
- Mamdani's public support suggests how he may use his mayoral office after his Nov. 4 election, as the strike follows Starbucks restructuring that closed more than 600 stores.
